With music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy, Heathers The Musical first premiered as a concert in New York in 2010 before a full production in 2013 in Los Angeles. The show ran off-Broadway in 2023 and made its London premiere in 2018.
Westerberg High’s Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of a better day. But when she joins the beautiful and impossibly cruel Heathers, her dreams of popularity may finally come true. Mysterious teen rebel JD teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it is murder being a somebody…
Directed by Andy Fickman with choreography by Gary Lloyd, the production has designs by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound by Dan Samson.
Meanwhile the show is also on tour throughout 2023.
